Including Clive James's most memorable pieces - his 'Postcard from Rome', his observations on Margaret Thatcher, his insights into Heaney, Larkin and Orwell - this book also contains brilliantly funny examinations of characters like Barry Humphries, as well as showcasing James's more thoughtful, analytical side. From Germaine Greer to Marilyn Monroe, from the nature of celebrity to German culpability for the Holocaust, Reliable Essays is an unmissable collection from one of the best writers of our time.

To compensate for the rowdy vulgarity of his ITV specials, James the populist has developed a precious, pedantic alter ego who is an occasional irritant in these essays... All the same, I finished this book wishing that I knew as much as James does, and that I wrote as well and (not suffering from the colonial cringe that used to be mandatory for Australian arrivistes in this country) I'm immodest enough to admit that I don't often feel that way when reading the work of other critics.
